Bengaluru's first digital population clock was inaugurated at the Institute for Social and Economic Change (ISEC) through a collaborative effort between ISEC and the Union Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW).
- Similar digital population clocks are being installed in 18 Population Research Centres across India by MoHFW.
- The clock provides real-time population updates, with Karnataka's population updating every 1 minute and 10 seconds, and India's population every 2 seconds.
- Its precision is maintained through satellite connections, which ensure accurate, real-time data updates.
- ISEC was established in 1972 as an All India Institute for interdisciplinary research and training in social sciences.
